India: August 15th.
Perhaps one of my personal favorites, India's true beauty is shown during Delhi.
Parades, picnics, extraordinary fireworks, and concerts are thrown all week in India. Millions of kites cover the sky during Delhi, making it one of the most beautiful and symbolic expressions of freedom EVER.
I love India.

France: Bastille, July 14th.
Commemorating their troops to kick off the parade, the military marches down the Champs-Elyees to the Palace de la Concorde, which is both the biggest and oldest military parade in Europe. It is one of the most conservative parades on the globe. At the end, everyone heads to the nearest Fire Station to watch the firemen strip for money. ;D
Sexy!

Greece: March 25th
Both historical and a religious celebration for Greece. In late March of 1821 the country revolted against the Ottoman Empire, and at the same time, the Feast of Annunciation, which was the day Mary was visited by archangel Gabriel. Most places like Athens, celebrate the old fashion way, by throwing parades, while the island of Tinos mostly celebrates the Annunciation with dances, banquets, and other religious festivities.

Mexico: September 16
QUE THE MARIACHI BAND!!!!
In commemoration f Miguel Hildalgo's "Grito de Dolores" speech delivered on September 15th, 1810, everyone starts celebrating the day before, and the celebration/festivities continue on to the next day. Of course, the country celebrates with mariachi parades, bullfights, rodeos and giant mexican style feasts. Needles to say, the next day the posole will be re-heated, the coffee will be brewed, and everyone over the age of 13 will wake up with a massive hang over.
Yup, I'd say Mexico knows how to party.
